STEPHEN BARBAZUK Executive DirectorStephen is a native Vancouverite. Growing up in Lynn Valley, he cherishes his “peak-moment” of receiving a white Sears Free Spirit 10-Speed bike, on his 10th birthday (complete with blue-foam handlebar grips - and it's still at the house he grew up in). After a taste of flight on the bike, freedom has since become one of his core values. Stephen is an executive director for a national child and maternal health clinical research network and it is his houour to volunteer in the same capacity for this event and cause. When not blowing tires and turning wheels, he blows glass and turns vessels at his neighbourhood hot shop in East Van. His message is: “Thanks to the volunteer organizing committee, our riders, sponsors, donors and most importantly, our volunteers – you get up earlier than anyone else on event day and we really could not do this without you! Allez! Allez!
